Activity itinerary

Pima County Historic Courthouse

Completed in 1929, the Pima County Historic Courthouse is a Spanish Colonial Revival landmark that served as the county’s primary courthouse for decades. Staff and visitors have reported unexplained footsteps, shadowy figures, and strange noises, adding to the building’s long-standing paranormal reputation.

Fox Tucson Theatre

Opened in 1930, the Fox Tucson Theatre is a beautifully restored film palace listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Employees and performers have reported apparitions, mysterious footsteps, and unexplained sounds believed to be connected to the theater’s nearly century-long history.

Charles O. Brown House

Built in 1902, the Charles O. Brown House is one of Tucson’s finest surviving examples of Queen Anne architecture. Local accounts describe unexplained noises, shadowy figures, and other unusual activity associated with the historic home.

UNS Energy Corporation

The Santa Rita Hotel opened in 1904 and was once one of Tucson’s premier luxury hotels before being demolished in 1972; the current UNS Energy headquarters occupies part of the former site. Reports of apparitions and unexplained phenomena are often linked to the hotel’s history, with some believing former guests still haunt the property.

Rialto Theatre

Originally opened in 1920 as a vaudeville and cinema, the Rialto Theatre remains one of Tucson’s premier live entertainment venues. Staff and performers have reported hearing phantom footsteps, unexplained voices, and seeing shadowy figures inside the historic building.

Hotel Congress

Opened in 1919, Hotel Congress is one of Tucson’s most famous historic hotels and is closely tied to the capture of outlaw John Dillinger in 1934 following a fire at the hotel. Guests and employees have reported sightings of apparitions, mysterious voices, and unexplained activity throughout the property.

Wyatt Earp Shot Frank Stilwell Marker

This historic marker commemorates the 1882 shooting of Frank Stilwell by Wyatt Earp near Tucson’s railway tracks during the infamous Earp vendetta ride. Local legends tell of ghostly sightings and strange sensations near the site, reflecting one of the Old West’s most famous confrontations.

Southern Arizona Transportation Museum

Located in Tucson’s historic Southern Pacific Railway Depot, the museum preserves the region’s railway heritage. Visitors and staff have reported unexplained footsteps, shadowy figures, and mysterious activity, with many stories centred around the nearby site where Frank Stilwell was killed.
